Chuck D, leader of rap group Public Enemy, had an expletive-ridden message of support for Scottish independence during a Glasgow gig on Sunday.
Appearing on stage at the SSE Hydro Arena alongside the Wu Tang Clan and De La Soul, the rapper slammed Theresa May and Donald Trump while winding up the crowd about 2014's vote against independence.
Twitter user @Rory_M_Stewart shared mobile footage of the challenge, which started when Chuck D paused to chant "fuck bigotry".
Here's that Chuck D speech from last night in Glasgow in full.

"I thought y'all was gonna be independent by the time I came back to this Motherfucker?
What you holdin onto fucking mommy for?

He added: "I thought you all was going to be independent by the time I got back.
"What you holding on to fucking mommy for?
"Theresa May don't know what the fuck she's doing.
"Fuck her goddamn Brexit!" he said, while the crowd cheered.
Following the call to support independence and oppose Brexit, he finished with "let's all fight the fucking power," before blasting into, unsurprisingly, "Fight the Power".
This isn't the first time Chuck D has shared his support for Scottish independence.
At another Glasgow concert in 2014, he reportedly stated: "That little brother shit is over. Don't let them take your money no more, Scotland."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
